Centimeter (cm) — one hundredth of a meter
Common in consumer products and human body measurements. Convenient for small dimensions in engineering, crafts, and design.
- Symbol: cm
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 cm = 0.01 m = 10 mm
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 cm = 0.393700787 in (since 1 in = 2.54 cm exact)
- Typical examples: garment sizing, paper formats, device thickness
Picometer (pm) — SI unit equal to one trillionth of a meter
Used to express atomic and subatomic dimensions such as bond lengths and ionic/atomic radii in chemistry and materials science
- Symbol: pm
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 pm = 10⁻¹² m = 0.001 nm = 10⁻⁶ µm = 0.01 Å = 1,000 fm
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 pm ≈ 0.00000000003937007874 in
- Typical examples: covalent bond lengths ~100–200 pm; Bohr radius of hydrogen ~53 pm; atomic radii tens to a few hundred pm
